I do this every time that I wash the car as preventive maintenance. I can see small bits of debris falling out of the bottom (rubber flap) each time that I do it. I just flood that area with the water hose so hopefully most of the debris floats/falls out.
Usually, batteries are not covered by extended warranty because of aging. The newly dead battery symptom could be a sign of the age of the battery not taking a full charge anymore. But, these 12V batteries are lithium and are supposed to go 10+ years with no issues. So maybe you can argue that...
Usually, to bed in brake pads, you drive at about 70MPH and then jam on the brakes to almost a stop (don't stop all the way and don't let the brake pads "sit" on the rotors), then reaccelerate. Repeat the process 5 times. Coast to let the brakes cool on final pass. Given the technique, I would...
Pretty sure I would never rely on Apple Wallet key for my transportation. Think of how many glitches happen on the iPhone let alone all the complaining on this forum about how the Porsche PCM is also dogshit. You would still have to always carry your key or risk getting stranded somewhere...
With CarPlay, this holder/charger really is the best solution. It looks OEM and if you need to get to your phone, it's right there. A lot better/easier than the one in the arm rest...
If you want to charge to 100%, you need to "change" your recall to ARB7 by turning on your OTA monitoring for Porsche. Otherwise, you stay limited to 80% until they have a fix. But I don't think there will ever be a "fix" because they have a situation where the battery cells need to be monitored...
If you care about details on your car, unfortunately, you cannot have a Discount Tire type tire shop do the repair in whole. If you have ever watched them do tires, you will know that they won't use guide pins to ensure they don't bump your PCCB rotors (if you have them). They will pop your...
FYI, for the future, you only have to replace more than the punctured tire if the new tire will exceed 30% tread depth difference of the other tire on one axle.
I was scared to remove that carbon fiber trim panel because I wasn't sure if it was plastic welded on on the back or if it was held in by clips. So, instead, I took a hotel key card which is thin enough to slide in from the end and "tighten" the whole panel. First I slid the card in, marked how...
A lot of times it is the charger. That just happened to me last week. So I used another charger and it worked fine. Then saw several people go through the same routine as I did so I pretty much knew it was the charger. Stupid thing is the charger doesn't know it is the issue and just says cannot...
